Curious what you hope to gain by assigning key cards to specific users? From what I know, there is nothing to gain and they may as well be anonymous. They don't automatically trigger any in vehicle settings, those are all controlled through the profiles menu that you have to manually change between. Perhaps Rivian could tell you what key (assigned to whom) opened/operated the vehicle at a specific time, but that's all I can think of.- We are strongly in favor of the ability to assign (by ourselves) key cards to users. As I understand it, once they are set they can't be changed? I have an email request in for help with this but haven't heard back, and this seems like a flaw in the plan.
(Has anyone found a way around this?)
- While charging with an L1 plug, it doesn't seem like anything is being added to the battery. It sits there for hours at the same % that it starts at. Is the truck using the entire kW for something (battery conditioning, e.g.)?
- The Rivian app on our phones uses a lot of the phone battery - would be great if this could get optimized better.
Yes, the cooling system uses quite a bit of power, making any kind of low power charging just a treading water exercise essentially. You really need to charge at least at 240v and 32amps to get any appreciable net charge rate. I made a thread about this.
I've found that activating cabin conditioning will use a lot of power, oftentimes because that action times out. However, when not using this feature a lot, my app is only contributing about 5% or less to may daily battery use on my iphone. My current 24 hour reading is 3%. However, I went out of town and was using that more often and I had a 24 hour usage figure of 54% at one point. I would have also been using proximity features more often in that as well, since it is set to off at home. So, all that to say, the app in it's base state is not a significant power draw, however some of it's features can be when used.
